So after the Pete Doherty gig had to be cancelled, due to him being arrested (thankyou, Pete), A. and I decided to create our own versions of the series of photos that Andy Warhol took of the fabulous Edie Sedgwick. Badabing, badaboom, here they are...

A. has also cleverly made his into a flash, for his film website. Check it out : AJL Film
I am extremely lucky to have gorgeous friends: mix this with a love for fashion photography and you get a mishmash of playing dress up and snapshots with my vintage Canon T50. Et, voila.
Thankyou to my beautiful friend LetThemEatKate and her stunner lil sis!
"Trend is the thing that inspires us. Wear clothes that you dream about instead of wanting to stand out of fit in or make an impression. Dream of who you are and wear it in high school. I used to denim legwarmers, ugly tshirts, jnco raver jeans, hemp necklaces. And I felt like myself. I wasn't trendy. Don't be scared to try new things. Go into old memories, dress like you did when you were ten. Dress like your favourite movie characters wear funny hats paint your faces wear ugly out of style shoes that you still love or hippy sandals. Dye your hair any colour you want wear huge tshirts don't brush your hair for weeks pierce your nose your eyebrow your lip for fun it will grow back. Try something from your Mom's closet. Tie three flannels around your waist paint things on white hanes tshirts paint your bags with sunshine cartoons and new Mexico symbols. Rubber band feathers into your hair knot chains to denim jackets re-lace your shoes with polka dot fabrics get your friends to kiss you all over your face with red lipstick tell everyone 'I love you' and see what they say. Don't be afraid to be made fun of. Fashion is just creative minds dreaming and bringing it to life. Each designer is a nerd because he is not afraid of how he looks.Have fun being you... it only happens once." Wildfox.♥
